Simo is 8 and goes to the 2nd grade in Puolala school. His class is studying partly in German. He loves Dilbert very dearly and is dreaming of a dog of his own. Simo´s hobbies are scouting, swimming, reading, playing computer games and building Bionicle -robots.
Samu is 5. He adores his beloved Simo-brother in good and in bad 
and keeps saying that Dilbert is his little brother. Samu goes to a Christian kindergarden, Karitsa (meaning: a lamb) and likes it a lot there! Samu also likes animals in general and making trips into the nature. He, too, will one day follow his big brother to the scouts.
Both of them like to paint and listen to stories as much as mummy is able to read. In the evenings they often go out to play and cycle together with their friends from the neighbourhood.
This pic captures their expressions so well.
Not sure what the plans are in PUO for next grades but if he ends up with Elina U as a teacher she’s dog mad too
… and a good, strict teacher as well.
He´ll be ok with any dog mad person
He had to draw his family at school once and was critizised for drawing our pets as well. The teacher (it was not his own teacher) had said pets don´t belong to the family and he was so upset! He still takes it up sometimes.
